September 2018 kit - Laura Gilhuly

Good morning everyone Laura here!

I am excited to share my first layout with you using the September 2018 kit featuring the Prima Santorini collection!  This collection had fabulous colours and designs!

The papers and elements are so very romantic that I decided to create a Love themed layout of my wonderful husband and I.

I created clusters using the fabulous flowers found in the add ons and main kit

I used a doily from my stash and added lots of elements from the kit including the journaling cards, patterned papers, and tickets

I created this layout using this months challenge sketch.

Scrap Shotz September Kit - Prima Santorini Collection Vacation Layout

Hi again friends! It's Karla back with the fabulous Scrap Shotz September Scrapbook Kit featuring the Prima Santorini collection. I am really loving all the gorgeous papers, ephemera, cards, stickers, flowers and more that are included in this kit, as well as the awesome add-ons available, and it has been perfect for documenting our family's summer vacation in Invermere! Be sure to check the last two posts to see a reveal video HERE and two layouts with a process video HERE. Today, I'm sharing a third layout using this month's sketch by our talented Design Team Member, Laura. Read on to find out how you can enter this month's challenge by creating a layout based on this sketch for a chance to win!!

I started off by using the pretty pink cardstock from the kit as my background layer and then started layering on the gorgeous 12x12 papers from the September Kit. I really love the watercolour look paper with the pretty blue foil on it! Since this was a layout about my girls playing in the waterpark I used the cute girl in her striped bathing suit and hat from the cut apart 12x12 sheet. I followed the sketch adding strips of patterned papers and stickers under my main photo and bathing suit girl card.

This beautiful blue fabric flower is just one of the add-on's available in the shop to coordinate with this month's kit. I love the beads in the center of it - so pretty! I layered on some elements from the Ephemera Diecut package (paper and acetate) and some chipboard stickers, both included in the kit. 

On the bottom left corner of my photo I added another cluster of embellishments, including the cute ticket, a flip flop chipboard sticker, that adorable flamingo and a little you & me sticker, all from the kit. The shiny pink flower is another amazing add-on!

Here's a look at this month's sketch. Use it as a starting point to layer your beautiful papers and get another layout in your album ... and get a chance to win a gift card by sharing it with us using #sszchallenge on Instagram or sharing on our Facebook page.

Scrap Shotz September Kit - Prima Santorini Layouts and Video!

Hi friends! Karla back today with two layouts using the beautiful Scrap Shotz September Scrapbook Kit featuring the Prima Santorini collection. This is an amazing collection of crafty goodies that is perfect for scrapping your summer memories, those beautiful vacation photos, and so much more! Be sure to check out the full Reveal Post with video HERE if you haven't yet seen everything in the full collection 💙 I'm using this sweet kit to scrapbook one of our family's vacations and have loved including all the fantastic elements on my pages. Be sure to scroll down where you'll find the link to the process video created to show you how to make this page, and an extra bonus layout with closeups!

I'm using the September Sketchy Challenge from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine  to create the first layout. I combined the beautiful Pink Fresh Studio puffy letter stickers from the kit and the Vacation chipboard sticker along with the 'documented' sticker to create a title layered over my photo.

The 12x12 patterned paper with the strips was perfect to layer across the page along with the add-on washi tape, the camera from the ephemera pack, a chipboard sticker heart and one of the gorgeous flowers from the kit.

I cut one of the branding strips that had a sentiment and layered it to create the sentiment without having it spread across the page completely. I really love all the cool chipboard stickers in this kit! How cute are these little van and butterfly stickers?!! 

The sweet tickets are great to add a little journaling to or just to tuck under your photos and ephemera.

Here's a look at the Process Video where you can see exactly how I created this page.

I just love this collection, and I couldn't stop at just one layout!! Here's a look at the second page I created using inspiration from one of Nicole Nowosad's layouts at BPC. I had smaller photos of our drive through the mountains that I wanted to include on the layout and by layering them and staggering the layers you don't notice as much that they are not all the same size. 

There are so many amazing journaling cards and cut apart 3x4 cards in this kit! I cut the 'journey' sentiment from one of the cut apart 12x12 papers with a stitched circle die and layered more of those amazing Pink Fresh Studio letter stickers to create a title for this page. 

The cards were also perfect to layer my photos on, edged with some awesome Distress Oxide Inks.

I love the acrylic ephemera pieces in the diecut package! I tucked one under the chipboard sticker here and even tucked a little 'my travels' sticker from the sticker sheet. This kit has so many elements perfect for layering.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz Store to get your gorgeous September kit and all the amazing add-ons available!! Wishing you a very happy, very crafty week ahead 😘

3D Texture Fades!!!

Hello Scrap Shotz Friends!

Rosie here to share a couple of cards using the fabulous Tim Holtz 3D embossing folders 😁.

I worked with the 3D Texture Fade Botanical Embossing Folder:

and the 3D Texture Fade Mechanics Embossing Folder :

I took a piece of Ranger watercolour paper, misted with water and ran through my Big Shot 3x, below is the result after inking with Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio ink.

The dimension is stunning!

I applied the ink with a Nuvo Blender brush which can be special ordered from Scrap Shotz.

After applying Distress Oxide Ink to the leaves and flowers I added Distress Crayons directly to the flowers and some of the leaves, blending them out with water and my finger.

Another look at the inked panel.

Here's the completed card:

I used some products from a prior Scrap Shotz kit.

Misted these flowers with Antiqued Bronze Distress Mica Spray.

This flower is die cut with the Tim Holtz Tattered Floral die from Scrap Shotz kit papers and then embellished with a Tim Holtz Gumdrop Heart.

The watercolour card stock was embossed in the same manner as above, misting the panel and then running through the Big Shot 3 times.

I then applied Iced Spruce Distress Oxide Ink with a Nuvo Blender Brush all over the embossed card stock.

Blended Distress Crayons in Hickory Smoke, Walnut Ink and Black Soot.

Misted embossed panel with Brushed Pewter Distress Mica Stray, then created sentiment from a Scrap Shotz kit and finished off with a few Studio Katia Black Onyx crystals.

There are lots of great products available at Scrap Shotz , click on the link to check out what's available!

Carta Bella Gone Camping Layout - Happy Lakeside Adventure

Hi friends! Karla back today with a summertime layout using the Carta Bella Gone Camping collection! You may remember seeing some projects I created last month using this awesome collection - and if you missed them be sure to check out the pocket page & process video post HERE as well as the product reveal video, a layout, and a pocket page on this post HERE.

I decided to play around with the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine July Sketchy Challenge and used the lake themed papers in the Carta Bella Gone Camping Paper Pack. Even though they are fishing related, and we were simply enjoying a day at the beach, I felt they worked great and re-inforced the lake theme I was going with.

I used some Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to colour a 'Happy' diecut that was just laying on my desk from a previous project and splattered on some mist drops over my background. The pretty blue mist colour coordinated with the blue Distress Oxide Ink I used with a stencil in several areas of the layout too. I am really liking adding different fonts and stickers to create titles with, so I grabbed some orange PinkFresh Studio puffy alphas and used them beside the Adventure banner sticker that I found in the 12x12 sticker sheet, which is included in the paper pack. I layered the 'Explore Lakeside' sticker, from the sticker sheet as well, on my photo grid and then added a stamped fish from the coordinating Gone Camping Acrylic Stamp Set.

I added the Good Mood diecut from the Gone Camping Ephemera Pack, which is full of awesome images and diecuts! A few more of the stickers and stamps along with some sequins and a wood veneer continue the theme.

I used the Project Life App to print out my journaling on a card and used some emojis. I am really loving my Canon Selphy Printer to print photos or journaling cards that I haven't already printed out! I used some more Glimmer Mist to spray an anchor wood veneer and added a bit of twine for another embellishment.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you are all having a wonderful summer, taking lots of pics to scrap 😉. Be sure to head over to the Scrap Shotz Store to see all the fantastic goodies and check out what's new!
